Shogun (1980)
1 factual error in show generally
Directed by: Jerry London
Starring: Frankie Sakai, Richard Chamberlain, Toshiro Mifune, Yoko Shimada
Factual error: When they first meet, Rodrigues tells Blackthorne that aboard his ship there is plenty of food and grog. The problem is that grog was not "invented" until 1740, when it was introduced into the British Navy by Admiral Edward Vernon, who was nicknamed "Old Grog" because of his habit of wearing a grogram coat.
